Cooling care for delicate burns: Burnshield Digit Burn Dressing wraps and soothes.
The Burnshield Digit Burn Dressing is expertly made for treating burns on fingers and toes, ensuring comfort and effective care. This foam dressing, soaked in Burnshield's sterile trauma hydrogel, is contained in a foil pouch for sterility and readiness.
The hydrogel's high water content is key to its ability to cool, soothe, and minimise skin damage by absorbing and dissipating heat. Notably, the gel turns from white to clear upon application, allowing wound monitoring without disturbance. Non-stick, non-toxic, and non-irritant, it's suitable for all, including children.

15 Reasons to Choose the Burnshield Digit Burn Dressing
What is the Burnshield Digit Dressing used for?
- Individual Wrapping of Fingers and Toes: Ideal for precise application on smaller, more intricate burn areas.
- All Types of Burns: Effectively treats various burns such as fire, sunburn, scalding, and chemical burns.
- Treatment of Small-Sized Burns: Optimally sized for managing burns that are not extensive in area.
- Child-Friendly Use: Safe and effective for treating burns on children.
- Comprehensive Burn Care: Suitable for the treatment of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd degree burns, including facial burns and scalds. It provides essential immediate treatment and protection, particularly crucial within the first 24 hours following a burn.
- Emergency Phase Application: Burnshield can be applied during the emergency phase of all types of burns, without restrictions to the degree of burn, acknowledging the potential significant progression of burns within the first hour.
Initial Response: Immediately stop the burning process. This could involve moving the person away from the hazard, extinguishing flames with a fire extinguisher, or smothering flames with a blanket. Remember to avoid putting yourself at risk.
Prepare the Area: Carefully remove any clothing or jewellery near the burnt skin. However, do not attempt to remove items that are adhered to the burnt skin, as this could worsen the injury.
Applying Burnshield Dressing:
- Carefully open the sterile foil package.
- Gently take out the dressing.
- Place the dressing over the burn, ensuring complete coverage.
- Use a non-adherent bandage to hold the dressing in place.
- If the burn is on a finger or toe, wrap the dressing around the individual digit to prevent binding.
Rehydration (if needed): If the dressing requires rehydration, apply Burnshield Hydrogel for added moisture.
Reduce Swelling: Where possible, elevate the affected area to help minimise swelling.
- Flush affected area with water for 15-20 minutes to neutralise acid/alkaline.
- Additional flushing of area if the eyes are involved ( extra 3-5 minutes)
- Apply Burnshield dressing to the affected area and treat as you would for normal heat burns.
- See medical attention.
- For Hydroflouric acid burns – Calcium gluconate neutralizes the burn and then you would use the above protocol.
- Switch off the power source and remove patient from the source
- Look for both entry and exit points of the arc/flash
- Treat as you would for heat burns (see instructions)

When to Seek Medical Assistance
- Size and Depth of the Burn: Seek immediate medical care for burns larger than the size of the affected person's hand, or for any deep burns that cause white or charred skin.
- Location of the Burn: Burns on sensitive or critical areas such as the face, neck, hands, feet, any joints, or genitals require immediate medical evaluation.
- Type of Burn: All chemical and electrical burns warrant an urgent visit to the A&E.
- Accompanying Injuries: If there are additional injuries that need treatment, it's important to visit A&E.
- Signs of Shock: Symptoms like cold, clammy skin, sweating, rapid, shallow breathing, and feelings of weakness or dizziness indicate a need for emergency care.
- Age and Health Factors: Children under the age of 10, individuals with chronic health conditions (like heart, lung, or liver disease, or diabetes), or those with weakened immune systems (due to conditions like HIV/AIDS or chemotherapy for cancer) should receive medical attention for burns.
- Inhalation of Smoke or Fumes: If someone has inhaled smoke or fumes, especially showing symptoms like coughing, a sore throat, difficulty breathing, singed nasal hair, or facial burns, they should go to the hospital.
- Delayed Symptoms: Be aware of delayed symptoms post-burn and seek medical attention if they arise.
- Intentional Injury: If the injury was intentional or if there is suspicion of intentional harm to someone else, it's imperative to visit A&E.
